Cheesero,

Wow! Black is NOT your color. I have read, I believe, in your previous posts about how much you like the Boston Cherry finish of the Axiom line.
Anyway, while still in the process of building my home theater system and with an impending move on the way, I am sticking with the black theme. I did not have any choice of color with my TV or my other non-speaker components.
I think the Nohr products are butt ugly and they have more color combinations than anyone!
BTW, you have really neat dogs.

Jkohn,

You are correct. As a matter of fact, I was going to build my own sub, but the Tempest driver that I wanted was 3 months back-ordered. Therefore, I bought the best subwoofer I could get delivered for less than $550. If I had a problem with the looks of a cylinder, I would have gotten an HSU VTF.

I still have to decide what mains to get, M22s, M40s, or M60s........
